Product packaging having hidden inclined portion for removal of product

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide for a product packaging that includes a sheet of material that has at least one recess in the sheet of material. The one or more recesses are configured to store a product. Namely, the one or more recesses are shaped based on an outline of the product and includes an inclined portion that is configured to slope away from the stored product. When the stored product is pressed to be in contact with the inclined portion, an end of the product extends out from the recess. The extended end may be used to remove the product from the product packaging.

1 . A product packaging for an intended product, the product packaging comprising:
 a sheet of material including a top surface and at least one recess,   wherein the at least one recess includes a first surface at a first depth that is a first distance from the top surface, a second depth that is a second distance from the top surface that is greater than the first distance, and an inclined portion that extends between the first surface at the first depth and the second depth, wherein the first depth is less than a depth of the intended product, wherein a distance between the second depth and the first depth is greater than the first distance, and wherein   the recess is shaped based on the first depth, the second depth, the inclined portion, and the intended product.   
     
     
         2 . The product packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the inclined portion of the recess has a length that is less than half of a length of the recess. 
     
     
         3 . The product packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the inclined portion of the recess has a constant slope therealong. 
     
     
         4 . The product packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the sheet of material is planar. 
     
     
         5 . The product packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of material comprises a plastic or a foam. 
     
     
         6 . The product packaging of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an enclosure configured to encapsulate the sheet of material and hold the sheet of material in place; or   a cover configured to fit over the sheet of material.   
     
     
         7 - 13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . The product packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the distance between the second depth and the first depth is at least twice the first distance.
